I was in denial stage until we picked Python 3 for a project at work. Then I went into anger and bargaining with the other dev on the project. Heh. blush

Being forced to come to terms with Python 3 has made me see the light, though. I still have a host of personal projects in Python 2, but anything new I write is in 3.

For me, it was concurrent.futures that pushed me into acceptance stage.

My experience was similar. An even bigger push in my case was the async stuff in 3.5.

It's going to be a little while before pypy supports 3.5, but once that happens, Python will be very well placed. Something like Tornado + pypy + py3.5 looks a lot like the app server stack of the future IMHO.

It has been a massive PITA, and probably could have been better handled, but hindsight is easy. The future looks bright.
